The class & caste structure of Indian America is an interesting, complex phenomena, and if you aren't in it someway or haven't studied it, you - trust me on this - don't know what you're talking about.

Really fascinated by this new phenomenon of white people telling me I have caste privilege or that I'm a "Brahmin". Folks, you only kinda learned what that means yesterday and can't pronounce those words, so maybe don't hurl them as insults quite yet.

I am attempting to study this. What I am trying to discern is how much of a hand the British colonialists played in elevating brahmins to a national power, and whether it is accurate to say the caste was used to mold a comprador class in the image of the colonial bourgeoisie

like, it doesn't matter, white people shouldn't be throwing around this shit in order to discredit Indian American leftists or even liberals.

Class reductionists will decide that if you are not a class reductionist you must not be working class because, and I cannot emphasize this enough, they are not materialists and they use a fundamentally fascist idea of what makes you "of the people" (a "spirit," not a condition).

They didn't learn it yesterday. Look up Boston Brahmins someday when you're done patronising to understand how it reinforced the idea of caste purity and supremacy. Also, the Brits, French, Portuguese etc were in India and have written plenty about caste.

I *think* Laura Ingraham or one of those Fox News Aryan Nation-looking types tried to use that on Pankaj Mishra over something
